4 years old

We had a birthday party on 9th July(Thurs) because we were going to JB on 10th(Fri) & coming back only on the 12th July (Sun). As usual, we invited aunty GM & aunty PL besides our family members. Mummy bought you a Pin ball machine from Toy R' Us. You didn't seem to like it. You only played with it for a couple of times. Dagu bought you a dinosaur & Boov soft toy (Boov from the movie Home). SY aunty bought you a bubble fan. Aunty GM & PL bought you some cars.
 
Half way during our bed time, you went down stairs to make the dinosaur roar twice! Hahaha! So cute. Yeh yeh thought you were funny when I told him this during our holiday in JB.

At school, the July babies birthday celebration was fixed on 15th July. Mummy called your principal to ask if any parents are allowed to attend. She said no parents allowed because there were too many July babies. However, we could bring a cake to school. Hence, mummy bought 1 small American Chocolate cake from Berry's for you to bring to school. As of now, I haven't seen any of your birthday photos taken at school yet.

Your achievement:
1) Able to write 1 to 20
2) Able to read Oxford Reading Tree Level 6 (except some words)
3) Speak very well in mandarin (with English accent)

You're not good at differentiating capital letters and small letters yet.

You mix up square and rectangle.

At Heguru, there's a game whereby students are required to guess the quantity of the objects in a 2ft x 2ft card after just one glance. I remember you got it right twice & the number is 16 and 23. Lately, mummy finds that when you take few deep breaths before guessing, you tend to guess correctly most of the time.

Whenever we think of you, we smile. You're very cheeky & funny. Y

Aunty SY said "Wow! You're 4 years old already, so old already!"
You said "No, I'm just a boy"

Aunty SY likes to tease you because you give the funniest explanation and response.

Aunty SY said "Can you let me use your new bottle"?
You Said "No, this is for small children".

You've asked me a couple of times about when will you grow bigger. I said you will but not now.

I love to see your cute little fingers and cheeks when you're sleeping.

You do drive me nuts many times by not wanting to bath or sleep when I tell you to. You know how to try your luck by crying or throwing tantrum.

3 years & 8 months old

Mummy finally join Kids e-world's 1 year membership over the weekend after thinking about it for 2 weeks which cost RM800 so you can go every weekend after Heguru & lunch. I feel that you need the exercise to strengthen your hands & legs. Moreover, climbing & crawling are good for brain stimulation too. Most importantly, you love it. There you get a chance to improve your social skill & I get a chance to see how you interact with other children. The one in Garden's Midvalley is much cleaner than the one in Ikano Power Centre.

Lately, you've grown so tall & since you've stopped vital years & started going to Kindergarden, your spoken English has changed to Manglish (Malaysian English).

Daddy attended parents-teacher day at your new school. Teacher's commented that you're very frightened & cried when you've accidentally done something wrong like spill the milk or water. You're very outspoken. There was once a girl sat beside you who complained about you so frequently that you couldn't bear with it & you requested teacher to change your seat to another place. Hahaha.

You can read some of Oxford Reading Tree level 2 books. You've achieved the same reading ability as jie jie when she was your age. You like maze & quite good at it.

I like spending Saturdays with you, accompanying your at Heguru & spending play time with you. You're so precious.

Oh, I almost forgotten about this. I bought you a football table last week after surveying around for couple of months. Finally I bought one from Toy'R us which is about right for your height. The quality isn't very good but it seems like that's all in the market now. You play with it almost everyday ever since we bought. So, I consider it a good buy. Even jie jie and daddy loves it.

I love you, jie jie & daddy so much....

You've been spending more playing time with daddy everyday now & I actually encourage that a lot so you can learn from daddy how to be a great man. Daddy enjoys playing with you too. There was 1 day you cried

3 years 5 months old - Pee by yourself

Recently, you have acquired the skill to go to the toilet by yourself to stand & pee.

It was one evening, I was in the toilet with jie jie. I was checking her teeth after she brushed them. Suddenly, you walked in while pulling your pants down. I was wondering what were you doing. Jie Jie and I watched as you walked towards the toilet bowl. Then you held your birdie with the tip of your thumb and index finger & tip-toed so you could aim well. Birdie is just about 1 cm above the toilet bowl. Yes, you are tall enough now. You aimed well too. Hahaha! I was so happy of your new acquired skill. Later after both of you were asleep, I quickly ran downstairs to ask kakak if she knows that you can go toilet by yourself now. She said she taught you that because most of the 2.5 years old boys at Phoenix are going to the toilet on their own already.

3 years & 5 months

Every Saturday we go to Heguru. The journey is about 30 minutes. In the car, while I'm driving, you are often in your imaginary world. Once, I heard you pretending to be Spiderman & you were talking to other people who asked for your help.

You ask lots of questions. You asked why the food we eat will turn into poo poo, why the poo poo must come out from our body, why the poo poo is brown colour. For questions which I don't have the answer, I'll have to use Google to find out.

Some nights you want to asked me to show you the picture of porcupine before you go to sleep. You said they're very cute. You love animals and babies. You want to have another brother too.

Some nights you have to hug my leg to sleep. Most nights you wanted stories.

Sin Yee ah yee finally wins your heart. Now she is your best friend. You love seeing her.

When you smile, you melt everyone's heart. Mine, the most. I love you so much my boy.

I bought you a cool blue Polo shoes last weekend from Isetan Gardens. You liked it so much that you're willing to wear it for few dinner and outings already.

Every morning when you wake up, except Saturday, you will cry & ask me not to go to work. When I pick you from condo, you'll resist to go home. Hmmm....

Yeh Yeh & everybody loves you.

3 years 3 months old

There were few funny conversation you had with the maids:

  You went into kakak Con's room and saw all the bags on the floor & said "Kakak Con is going back already, I've no more kakak to cook for me already". You then said to kakak D that she cannot go back because you will have no more kakak. Kakak D said "I'm very tired and I want to go back". Then you said "I'm good boy, I'm not naughty. I won't say go away kakak".


There was 1 day when you didn't want egg for breakfast: Daddy: JK, there's egg for breakfast JK: Last time I eat egg & I vomited Daddy: Last time you were coughing JK: I still have cough, "cough cough...cough cough..." you see.


Every morning when you wake up, you call out loud for mummy. Every evening, mummy picks you up from condo. Most of the time, you sit infront with mummy & you ask lots of questions. Sometimes you make up songs. How everyone feels about you? Whenever we talk about you, we smile because you're very funny. You sulk easily, you're soft hearted, you always put your toys back & you're very cheeky.

3 years old & 1 month

We celebrated your 3 years old birthday at home. Mummy bought an American chocolate cake and put a transformer on top. You opened your mouth wide when you saw it. We invited aunty Giok Mui and aunty Poh Leng too besides Sue Yin and Sue Lynn. Everyone bought you presents. You loved the cake. I usually talk to you after jie jie has fallen asleep every night. Last night, we had this conversation.. Mummy: How is Vital Years? JK: Ask me about Bao Bei Mummy: How's Bao Bei? JK: Hao Hao bully me. Mummy: How did Hao Hao bully you? JK: He beat me like this (while beating his own chest) Mummy: Then what happened? JK: Jie jie pulled him away Mummy: Oh, so jie jie saved you? JK: Yes. Mummy: Did you tell teacher? JK: Yes. Teacher beat Hao Hao's back. I like the part where you ask me to ask about Bao Bei. Last month we went to Bangkok & stayed few days at the hotel with da gu. After that, we stayed at Min Chee ah yi's house for few more days. There you played with Max & Carmella's lego. Ah Yi said you're such a good boy for not destroying the legos unlike their neighbour's kids. You sulked a couple of times by going into the room by yourself and mumbling away saying nobody wants to play with you. Everybody thought you're very funny. The other day I remembered something about you on the day you're born but I'm not sure if I've written it down before. So I'm going to write it in here incase I forgot. The day doc took you out from my stomach, I thought your cry was very loud. I told myself "That's really the difference between a baby boy and a baby girl huh". As I remembered, jie jie's cry was as soft as a kitten, so gentle. Your cry was like "I'm here! I'm a boy! GRRR!!!". Then nurse put your nose to my nose but upside down. I could smell you. I couldn't believe I finally see you. I didn't get to see you every month during the check up because you turned your head away. Later at night, everyone came to visit. I was holding you. Granny and Sin Yee ah yi were standing on my left. When they talked, your head turn to them and your eyes moved. It was like you recognise their voices. I didn't notice you do that when others were nearby. It happened few times. I thought you're very clever. When you were few months old, whenever we go to your baby cot to see you, you sure burst out laughing as if you had had a shock. Haha!! You love to watch TV, looking at your jie jie and chew your fingers. Your mittens were always wet and needed change few times a day.

2 years & 9 months - cutest conversation we ever had

One morning, I think it was 3rd May (Saturday), you were on the toilet bowl & I was holding you while you do your big business, you asked me why do you have a mouth. So I answered "So you could eat & talk" & you nodded your head. Then on the same day, in the afternoon, you did your second big business & I held you again. This time, you asked, why do you have 2 eyes. So I said with eyes we can see things & people to avoid bumping into them. Later in the evening, we were at the cinema watching Spiderman, you suddenly turned around and asked me why do you have a nose. Hahaha!! So I said "so you can smell things. If it's da bien (poo poo) then you know you can't eat it". Then you continue watching Spiderman. A while later you turned to me & said "So I can smell da bien & I don't eat da bien, I eat apple?" Hahahaha!!! I didn't expect you to say the last part. Half way of the movie, you turned around & told me "When I'm big, I become Spiderman. I have Spiderman clothes already mummy. You don't need to give me Spiderman clothes already". There was 1 time where you asked me something about the air filter. You didn't quite know how to put the question but you used your hands and fingers while asking. So I guessed you were trying to asked how does the air filter work. I think you're amazing to asked such questions at such young age. Every night before you sleep, you have so many things to talk. There was 1 time, you told me, at Vital Years, Eu Enn snatched your ice cream stick. I asked "Then what do you do"? You said "Then I cry...WHEHHH!!!!! Then teacher angry Eu Enn. Every night, Mummy tried to stick to the routine i.e. going upstairs to our room at 9.30pm. Then jie jie & you would get changed & brush your teeth. If we have a bit of time, we will read some story books. Otherwise, mummy would tell 1-3 stories before forcing you to sleep. Jie jie usually falls asleep very quickly after the last story & you'll be yacking away disturbing jie jie & get scolded for that. You have amazing imaginations. You could sit still in the car on our way to Heguru while eating your apples. Usually Mummy slice an apple & put them in a container for you. You love popsicles. Mummy usually make Ribena flavoured popsicle. Besides that, you love raisin, seaweed, Chipsmore cookies & sweets too. However, you seldom get to eat sweets because I'm afraid you'll have cavity. You're very adventurous in food. The other day was your first time tasting dhal with roti canai. You love it! You tasted spicy sambal too & you stuck your tongue out & used your hand to rub it. Hahaha!!!
